This sounds like body doubling to me. A nice little strategy to add a bit of (simulated) accountability to your workflow. Because of this I was able to finish my masters thesis (more or less) on time.

So, what exactly is body doubling? In essence, it involves working on a task while someone else is present, either in person or virtually. This person isn’t there to do the work for you; rather, their presence acts as a subtle motivator to keep you on track. Think of it as similar to having a workout buddy who encourages you simply by being there, even if they’re not engaging in the same exercise.

It makes me feel so sad to see young people dance,

They could burn the discotheque down, they’ve got every chance.

Then they’d get themselves into the news,

Burning things, burning things can make you famous too.
